218380 - Cannot do forms or anything with secure pages under 1.5b

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Sam Little]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.61 [en] (OS/2; U)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030825

Probably OS/2-specific. Since installing 1.5b, Mozilla "hangs" (pins 
CPU monitor at 100%) when:

a) A button or newline that should issue a GET or POST is issued,
b) Any secure page is requested,
c) Attempting to send mail through ASMTP server (non-secure server 
works fine), or
d) Clicking on Master Passwords or Validation tabs of Privacy & 
Security Settings.

This spread to my Mozilla 1.4 setup as well. I've since uninstalled and 
deleted *all* bits & pieces of Mozilla; reinstalled only 1.5b, created 
an all new profile, and problems remain.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above

Actual Results:  
Mozilla stops responding (I've let it sit for several hours on 
occasion). Ctrl-Esc allows me to kill the application.

Expected Results:  
What it was told (as appropriate)

Attached a formatted iptrace capture loading google.com search page, 
entering a few terms, then hitting the "Search" button. There seems to 
be empty packets traded back and forth, but no HTTP-GET is sent.

Problem is resolved. The cause appears to be that something happenned to the
x:\OS2\PDPSI directory, which appeared empty, the object notebook said it was
~400MB, it couldn't be altered in any way, and Seek & Scan couldn't search it or
subdirectories sorting below it in the  OS2 directory. Forced a chkdsk /f to fix
and Mozilla works again.

Nothing in Mozilla was broken or fixed.
